Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

  • Flour - All purpose flour, never self rising flour.

  • Milk - Whole milk or 2% milk works best.
  • Butter - I used salted butter but you can use unsalted butter as well.

Couple Things You'll Need

Step by Step Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking sheet with non stick cooking spray.
  • Start by melting the butter in the microwave.
  • Add the ½ cup honey to the melted butter and whisk well.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients (flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt) together.
  • Add the wet ingredients (honey mixture, milk and large eggs) to the flour mixture.
  • Mix with a wooden spoon just until no white streaks remain and the batter has come together.
  • NOTE - This batter/dough does appear a little odd. It's thick with texture unlike a cake batter. So don't panic it's how it's supposed to be.

  • Spread evenly into a thin layer in the prepared pan.  This is a stiffer batter so it takes  a little bit of effort to spread it out evenly.  
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean and the top of the cake should be golden brown.
  • Cool cake slightly on a wire rack.
  • Serve warm with butter and honey. Goes well with fresh fruit and a tall glass of orange juice or Orange Julius!
  • Store by covering cooled honey cake with a lid or plastic wrap. No need to refrigerate, room temperature is fine.
